I'm somewhat surprised that anyone bothered to call you and cancel.
I live in a state in which firearm deer season starts on the 15th and it is traditional, in most years, for someone to spend the first half of T-day holed up in a blind. What possessed you to make an appointment during this time?

I'm not that surprised, to be honest. Of course, I live in SW PA. We live and breathe deer season here. (Archery just went out on Saturday and for the first time in...forever, firearms starts on the Saturday after Thanksgiving instead of the Monday after).

Kind of just realized the last couple years is the first time in my life where I haven't had family or a significant others family totally crapping on plans due to hunting season.
It has been nice.

Isn’t life in a semi-rural area, full of hunters and fishermen, interesting some times? It’s a different set of priorities.

It would not surprise me here at all. Deer hunting season started here too and I haven't seen my son the past two weekends.

Two PA hunting licenses, doe tags, one OH hunting license, gas, hotel room for OH hunting, new bows/guns (because my husband NEEDS them), and of course, one large taxidermy bill when one of us actually shoots a big buck (like my DH did this year). Plus, we process them ourselves, which is very time-consuming. Ugh!

My brother has a friend who buys last year's bow off a guy who just has to buy a new one every year. As a child I always had a week long Thanksgiving break. Gun buck season always opened the Monday before Thanksgiving. Schools couldn't find enough staff and half the kids didn't show up anyway.

My son told me that the best gift I ever gave him was when he hit 18 (other than allowing him to live to see 18) was the lifetime hunting and fishing license. I made sure it covered salt and fresh water and everything it could cover in the state relating to fishing and hunting. Back then I think it was less than $75.00. I reap benefits of his fishing Not the hunting though.

Yup...we live a very rural part of western NY....hunting season is upon us. Many of the people here hunt on their own land so once the sun comes up....will hear the echos of gun fire for awhile... I do love venison though...no complaints here.

We used to get out of school the first two days of hunting season. That wasn't enough time if the hunters didn't get their deer. From November 15 until the 30th, there were a whole lotta absences. skubikky, venison was what we had for supper for as long as it lasted, and it seemed to last forfreakingever. Ugh. We got a break with turkey at Thanksgiving and ham at New Year's. Just about the time the venison was gone, it was time for the smelt to run so we had smelt and more smelt. I don't know which was worse.

My mother had family up at Bear Lake Michigan. Her cousin always said the town closed down first day of deer season as business owners and employees were all out in the woods!

I see no problem with a last-minute cancellation as long as you now apply the PITA rate to that client

Hell, we could sit on our front porch to go deer hunting, if it was allowed. At any one time, there is usually no less than 2 deer taking a nap in our front yard. I have seen as many as 13 deer holding a invention there.
Neighbors would be most unhappy. The deer have names.

I have a fried who lives in country and these are the very names she called them with a few “flowery” words thrown in every now and then! Don’t ever remember har calling any of them Bambi.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

My venison costs the occasional case of beer. My cousin hunts and is grateful that someone wants it! His sisters refuse to eat venison - 1 is vegetarian and the others are just done with bambi burgers as they ate so much of it growing up.

I bet Swamp gave up and went hunting, too. She hasn't been back since last Tuesday.
